About Our Research
The Baratta Center develops applied research and insights on the forces reshaping global business, with a focus on geopolitics, industries of the future, and the leadership capabilities required in a more complex world. The center brings together rigorous analysis, practical frameworks, cross-sector perspectives, and academic expertise to help students, business leaders, and policymakers better understand emerging global challenges.
At the core of this work is the center’s commitment to preparing the next generation of principled, globally minded business leaders. Through briefing papers, case studies, articles, podcasts, books, and classroom materials, the Baratta Center translates research into practical insights on global trade and investment, geopolitical risk, and industry transformation. Select convenings and executive engagements further connect these insights to real-world decision-making and student learning.
Featured Insight
Case Study: Taking a Leap into the U.S. Green Hydrogen Market
This case explores one of the defining strategic questions of the energy transition: how does a global technology company decide where and when to invest in a market where policy incentives are substantial but uncertain, infrastructure remains underdeveloped, and demand has yet to take shape at scale? It has already been taught by Mike Ryan, teaching professor in marketing at Georgetown McDonough, and impacted students within the M.A. in international business and policy program.
